Build your dream home, pier and dock and enjoy tranquil river living! Well located between Gloucester Court House and Mathews for easy access to dining, shopping, hospitals and schools. Just 5 minutes to full-service Mobjack Bay Marina. The southwest orientation allows for memorable sunsets. Bid and buy for your choice, or both combined!
Lot boundaries are marked with orange survey tape. Each lot has installed septic tank, and drainfield is marked with pink survey tape. Wetlands delineation was done June, 2024 and areas are flagged. Seller has plats with possible building footprints for each lot; one includes site for a pool.
Note from the seller:
Both of my lots pre-date the Chesapeake Bay Act. As such, the construction of a dwelling cannot be refused by Mathews County Zoning officials. Additionally, a dwelling may encroach with the Resource Protection Area (RPA) as set forth in the current Bay Act regulations, which is not permitted in POST Chesapeake Bay lot formations.
I was advised of this by Matt Roth of Roth Environmental in Newport News. From what I have observed, Matt is very well respected by his counterparts in the Army Corps of Engineers as well as with Mathews County Zoning officer James Knighton, who unfortunately is no longer employed by Mathews County. It took almost 1 1/2 years to obtain the Wetlands Delination from the Army Corps of Engineers, which MUST be obtained before any dwelling can be constructed on any waterfront lot, regardless of age status. That is completed. All Plans of Development expire after five years. A new owner would need to develop their own POD and submit it to Mathews County Zoning for approval, which cannot be denied. I would have no qualms referring any new owner to Matt Roth in that process.
